When you were young, people probably asked you what you wanted to be when you were older. You may have answered with the typical dream jobs of childhood - a fireman, doctor or a ballerina, perhaps. Sometime after 6th grade, you likely had a better idea about whether riding a shiny red truck to work or outfitting yourself in scrubs or a tutu was really for you. By now, you have likely learned about your passions – what you like and what you don’t - and what truly captures your interest. Perhaps you are trying to figure out how to turn those passions into your life’s work.
